Bijan Robinson named among top RBs for best economical NFL team
Summary

Bijan Robinson has been highlighted as a top running back in the NFL for a cost-effective team compiled by NFL.com. He is part of a talented trio of young skill players the Atlanta Falcons have benefited from during their most recent seasons, all under rookie contracts. Although the Falcons have committed significant money to wide receiver Drake London and tight end Kyle Pitts, Robinson remains a financial bargain at just under $7 million this season. His performance alongside Jahmyr Gibbs last year resulted in over 4,100 scrimmage yards. If a contract extension is not achieved soon, Robinson will play under a fifth-year option worth over $11 million in 2027, raising expectations for a long-term deal with the team.
